The Memphis shopping experience is as unique as the city itself. Sure the city has all of your expected big city favorites in the large shopping malls of East Memphis and the cool outdoor shopping centers of Germantown and Collierville (a short drive East of Memphis.) But the best kept shopping secrets are right in the heart of the city.
From downtown to midtown, Memphis antique shops and funky Memphis boutiques reign supreme. The first stop on the list of must-shop areas is the South Main Arts District filled with stylish shops like Gestures which serves as a beautiful downtown florist and gift shop. The More Space Place serves those looking for a more eclectic twist on furniture. If it is art you are looking for, SoMain has that too. Check out Jay Etkin Gallery or Red Fish Gallery Gifts and Glass. Clothing is readily available too at Muse, Runway, Divine Rags, and more. All of this is within walking distance of famous Beale Street too.
And then let’s not forget the famous Lansky’s in the Peabody hotel offering up the hottest designers on the planet or A. Schwab’s on Beale where they say, “If you can’t find it at Schwab’s, you are better off without it.”
And in the heart of midtown you can find cool, cool, and, more cool at Bella Notte and Lux Style for funky gifts and sexy fashions. Around the corner from the new and the chic you will find vintage records and kitschy vintage clothing…all on the same corner! And just up the street in the very same neighborhood is the Central Antiques District complete with majestic and retro antique furniture and objects d’art.
Whatever your shopping desires may be, you are sure to be satisfied in Memphis.
